Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix

Ingredients

Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix 

Cake

  • Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix (see above)
  • 3 1/2 fl. oz. egg whites (about 3-4 large eggs), divided, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup coarse sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar (heaping)
  • 5 3/4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, room temperature

Directions

To Make the Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix

Combine all ingredients into a food processor and run for 20 seconds or until mixed thoroughly. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a month or use right away.

To Make the Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lay parchment paper on the bottom of an 8-inch cake pan and grease.

In a medium bowl, add milk and half of the egg whites. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on high speed until mixture is very light and pale. Gradually add the remaining egg whites while scraping the sides of the bowl in between additions. Continue mixing on high for 3 minutes until a very light consistency is achieved.

Add the Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Mix to the bowl and continue mixing on low speed. Gradually pour in the milk and egg white mixture while scraping the sides of the bowl down. Continue mixing for 2 minutes on low speed.

Pour batter into greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until center springs back when lightly pressed. Let cool for 5 minutes and then invert onto a wire cooling rack until completely cool before using. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap, unfrosted and store in the freezer for up to three weeks.
